Musical combo - don't see that as a problem myself

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1503498065' post='3358736'] I do. And so do quite a few young people I know. But listening to albums was always more of a muso thing - hence the non-album albums for people who don't like albums, such as ...

i haven't tried to influence my daughters' music choices. I have music on in the car. They quite like James Brown. One likes guitar and tries to listen out for bass; she didnt really know what to listen out for so I've tried to point it out. We were driving down the freeway in Florida one hot day and I had found a rock music station; They played some of the Joshua Tree; I pointed out, as a clear example, the bass in With or Without you and a light bulb came on as she realised what bass sounded like. Cue "I still havent found" response "I really like this american music, daddy" she said...

I learned a lot from Scott today - the chromatic up / down note on beat four was something I hadn't spotted before

Thumbs up there :good:

and .... ?

That was also my thoughts when reading this thread

tell them you'll see them in[b] your local[/b] small claims court. Hampshire is quite a step from their northern (burnley?) base and they'll have to pay a local solicitor to attend. It will be very expensive for them, win or lose.

Precision bass into whatever amp there is it's that simple

Why not try ed friedkands jazz book?

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1389139212' post='2330667'] Satellites were nothing to do with Teisco, Matsumoku didn't build Columbus Js, end of. There's a lot of out-of-date erroneous information floating around on the web, most of it (including the Japanese manufacturer list I'm sure Fleabag's referring to) has been picked apart & discredited on the various specialist JapCrap boards where there are people who have been living & breathing this stuff since 1972. Because most of the factories & importers are long-gone, the few that aren't kept no records, and these were irrelevant budget instruments at the time, the study of JapCrap is an odd cross between archaeology & detective work. Some manufacturers (Matsumoku, for example) have easily-identified features, while others are much more generic. Often the only way to define the origin of an instrument is to compare a no-brand or off-brand with an example of one with a known provenance. Eg - there are no confirmed Matsumoku Jazz copies which are the same as Columbus J clones, therefore Matsumoku didn't make Columbus Js. On the other hand, a particular Maya J copy looks to be identical in every way, apart from the logo, so it's quite likely that Rokkomann (brand owner/possible manufacturer of Maya) were responsible for these Columbus instruments. I'll stop now because one of the rules of BC is that one should not post material which is "tortuous" and I think I possibly am. But you get the gist. Hopefully. J. [/quote] I found it very informative - please set your tortuousness filter up by one notch so you dont bail out so soon next time.

Keep the sandberg You'll grow into it

i still watch his performances in the Blues Brothers movies (particularly Funky Nassau) and hope one day to be halfways as capable. And to be able to "[i]turn goats p1ss into gasoline[/i]" of course.
